PlayStation 3 suffering crippling global service meltdown


PlayStation 3.

Sony Computer Entertainment remains actively engaged in finding a fix for a crippling, looping system error, which surfaced yesterday evening and affects PlayStation 3 consoles worldwide.

The log in errors prohibited users from logging onto the PlayStation Network, caused some users to lose Trophies and even made it so some games, like the newly released “Heavy Rain,” could not even be played offline.

Sony was quick to comment on its Twitter account.

“We’re aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we’re looking into it,” the company said in a Twitter statement. “Stay tuned for updates.”

The issues, according to Sony, are not affecting the newer PS3 Slim models, but are violently sweeping through, and bring to their knees, the older, larger models.

This sounds  like no fun for anyone. When Sony announces a fix I'll be quick to update.
